Tomorrow is el 5 de Mayo. Though it’s turned to a commercial juggernaut where gringos imbibe Corona and tequila, few even realize the date marks the defeat of the French army by Mexican forces on May 5, 1862.
To commemorate the true history of the day, this Sunday 9PM EDT (1AM GMT) Bruxxsel Radio will have a CINQUE DE MAYO celebration: all Mexican and French music. ¡Viva le Mexique!

Setlist here. Not included was the first song, Take On Me, by A-ha, out of Norway. Set includes 80s and 90s pop and dance classics from Norway, Ireland, the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan and Sweden.

Fast-forward past the first 3 minutes of the podcast segment below. Those were songs from the show before ours. - DJs Miguelito & Marceleaux

Because of the time change, our Bruxxsel Radio show didn’t get recorded as usual, but here is the playlist. Congrats to caller #4 who will be getting a package of prizes in the mail. More prizes next week, so call us up!

No Bruxxsel Radio today because WOBC is on Oberlin College fall break, but tune in in 2 weeks for our alterna-latina/dia de la raza/hispanic heritage month/dia de los muertos special. Here is a mix for a sample of the buen sabor.
